I want my star player to care enough that 12 hours after being knocked out of the playoffs, that he doesnt have such a smile on his face.

Most overrated player in the NBA.

Certainty one of them. Should be a rolling nomination. Dude will never give a shit, and it's a shame with his talent. I'm glad the Bulls never sought him.

i could tell in the bar last night watching with no sound that he didnt give a shit. the look on his face was "you reporters sure do seem interested in basketball. i got 5 bitches at home waiting for me naked, how much longer do i have to pretend to care?"

if he cared and if he could work on free-throws and get to 70% he'd be winning multiple titles

He's better at free throws than Harden is at defense. Harden offends my basketball sensibilities more than this big dope.

Then your sensibilities are broken

They're quite intact, sturdy even. Harden is a disgrace with the piss poor effort he gives on defense. No effort or awareness.

Harden also claims the dubious honor of being the most consistent flopper in the league. Not necessarily the most dramatic, that would be Chris Paul. Harden looks to be fouled more often than he looks for a good shot. He's also very good at playing "Dwyane Wade hero ball".

They're both irritating, but Howard has the ability to be an all-time great and he's above average. I get the sense that he would rather do anything other than basketball. He's a pussy. Jordan would have hit him several times if they ever played together. At least Harden cares about one side of the ball.

So you would prefer to have Howard on your team over Harden?

Hell yes. He's a better player. A player can only have so much value when he's a chucker and absolutely does not give a shit about one side of the floor.

see that is just a bad opinion. Real bad.

Harden has issues, no doubt. But Howard is just a huge pile of mess. He does not care. He is a baby. He is selfish.

He could have been one of the best players of this generation. But he decided to be a baby instead. It is pathetic.

Harden cares. Harden hustles. Harden is a better overall player.

Harden everyday, all day over Howard.

You can watch this video and honestly tell me Harden cares? Or that he hustles? Bullshit. Every game he's like this. He doesn't give a fuck about defense and unfortunately defense is important. He lets his man beat him every time and reaches in halfheartedly. He's an immensely flawed player. Even more than Howard.

The Rockets biggest flaw is their defense, their perimeter defense to be exact. What does it tell the rest of the team when one of your top 2 guys is giving that kind of shit effort? Right now he does not have the makeup of a guy who can lead a team to a championship or even an appearance in the finals.

You can find videos to support pretty much whatever opinion you want on NBA players. There are videos of Howard being bad at basketball and there are videos of Harden hustling and playing his ass off.

As I said, Harden has issues, He takes a lot of plays off on D. But I will take him and his issues all day long compared to a baby like Howard.

Harden takes plays off on defense every game, not just some games, every game. His effort is lackluster, his own damn announcers criticize him for it. Howard has flaws but I don't see them as being as severe. His on-court track record is also better than Harden's. Harden was in a perfect role in OKC. He didn't have to be the guy or even the second guy. He also got to against the opposing team's second unit.

The majority of the criticism directed at Dwight is because of off-court shit. I'll take that any day. I understand that a lot of these guys are pampered assholes, and Howard certainly is that. The on-court problems that Harden has experienced is a bigger problem for me. Howard has led teams before. Harden hasn't led shit.

Dwight showed up the in the playoffs. Harden didn't.

Harden, but mostly because of his age. Both guys have a lot of flaws and effort issues. I was just stating that because it seemed relevant.
